This week’s prompt for The Cosmic Photo Challenge was an optimistic one for some of you, I know, due to all that pesky geography and those inconsiderate local seasons, for which I can only apologise. ;~}
But for those of us fortunate enough to be entering the beginning of the end of the beginning of Spring, a lot of the world is at last; In bloom.
I returned once more to Marwood Hill Gardens just outside Barnstaple (and you can see my full collection of photos HERE); where their internationally renowned camellia collection was still in spectacular flower, along with magnolias and rhododendrons, under-planted with swathes of daffodils, anemones and hellebores.








So, what’s bursting forth in your part of the world at the moment? Time to let the rest of us see what you have for show and tell…
*****
To get involved with the challenge; check out the Cosmic Photo Prompt each Friday, then post a photo (or photos) on your blog the following Monday, with a pingback link to my Monday post.
Tag your posts with #CosPhoChal.
Any and all effects, editing, Photoshop, Instagram, morphing, collages, animation, gifs, or whatever other post production techniques you fancy are permitted, (in fact, they’re actively encouraged!) so get creative and turn your photos into artworks for the Cosmic Photo Challenge.

Thank you my friend.
I can understand that it’s impossible to know the names of each flower.
Your collection was so lovely that I was tempted to know the names.

The gardens at which I took the photos are very well labelled and I’m a keen amateur gardener (and photographer) so I’ll do my best if you have any questions
